The first of a three part blog series about my process and why I do it.

Ordinary Girl Meets Extraordinary Boy
"You going to tell me now what else happened that night?" he asked playfully, his fingers wiggling in my grip as a subtle threat."It's embarrassing to say out loud."His face softened into a serious curiosity."Then show me."I met his gaze, almost flinching at the intensity of his stare. My heart thudded against my chest.Before I even realised what I was doing, my finger came up to his Adams apple. My touch was light but I could feel the sharp intake of breath, felt the dip as he swallowed. When my finger brushed his lower lip, I realised that I had been leaning closer and closer to his face and I nearly jumped when his tongue came out to lick the tip of my thumb whilst his stare remained on mine.The alarm bells were ringing in my head as I came to terms with what I was doing, and I straightened back up."That's what you did," I exhaled a shaky breath and shrugged, hoping to shake off the thick tension that had built up in the room. I didn't dare look into his eyes as I made a move to get up but Logan's hands were suddenly at my waist. He smoothly flipped us so that I was on my back and he was on top.His eyes were dark with lust and he looked starved of something. I swallowed hard and his eyes immediately honed in on the movement."W-what are you doing, Logan?""It's my turn now," he said huskily.* * * * * * * * *Audrey Webb's life could be summed up in one word; ordinary. Logan Field on the other hand? The word would be extraordinary. As Audrey's life mainly consists of focusing on her café, she doesn't have a huge social life nor does she want to. She likes it this way; safe and sound from any surprises, so the chance of meeting charming Logan Fields, who is not only the lead singer of a famous boyband but a charming actor as well, is well...highly unlikely. But it happens nonetheless when Audrey's best friend makes her tag along to one of his concerts. That's when their ordinary and extraordinary lives collide and get turned upside down.

Calling her tough, stubborn, independent, difficult or aggressive would be an understatement, as her skill was unlike any other and when she moved, it was with just precision that one could almost hear the wind whoosh. She gave off an aura of calm strength, and that she was on a quest to heal the world, not conquer it. Underneath it, all was inexplicable anger, which was never evident but always perceptible. Despite her sweet face, most of her trainees begged to be assigned to someone else. She always pushed them hard and barely gave them time to breathe.Jack, like all of them, found it extremely tough to even keep up with her, especially during aerobics. However, he proved that he was made of sterner stuff, when he doggedly kept going on, despite panting and sweating all the time. Inaya looked after his fitness, weight training, Pilates and everything else that she could think of. Slowly, she found herself accompanying him even when it was not strictly required, like to the library to the juice bar. It happened without either of them realizing, they were becoming friends.

The Epic Journey To The Great Palace of Non-Judgment
A hapless, feckless, lonely refugee from a psychologically-oppressive country stumbles, quite accidentally, into a nation he's never heard of. The very existence of this society is a living disproof of everything he's ever been taught. He is seemingly drawn inexorably into the very center of this civilization by every question he asks and every person he meets. As he moves through an exurban landscape into a suburban landscape, he encounters people who handle virtually every major issue in life in ways which are forbidden in his native land. As he seeks to learn more and more about where he is, he finds himself drawn into the center of the Capital city itself. And though it seems to him that his movements are somewhat spontaneous, he later comes to see that these events are more planned than he had any way of realizing. What he doesn't suspect is that the entire protocol for immigrants centers around tricking them into learning things that would not have seemed believable under ordinary circumstances.I am influenced primarily by older Russian and French literature, which is highly psychological in nature. Almost everything I write eventually comes down to looking at the inner workings of culture and ultimately tries to point to what is authentic and alive versus what is lifelessly hypocritical and unproductive. I am, predictably, a bit bored by much of Anglo-American literature, (with several major exceptions), with its emphasis on technique and storytelling for its own sake. Against virtually all conventional writing workshop wisdom, I reveal my agenda quite readily, and I have a point to make. (Although I proofread my work, there are generally too many typos; but, eventually, I finally must post my stories, since I never stop finding errors. Also, the reader is free to copy my stories and send them to friends or associates. But please inform me before any commercial usage.)

Climate Change Resistance: Tip of the Iceberg
It's the year 2038 and Jenny Parker has just decided to join a clandestine resistance movement to rescue the planet from her own country. Like most fifth graders, Jenny never planned to take on the United States government. At least not when she believed the U.S. had single-handedly ended climate change back in 2033. But when Jenny's parents suddenly move the whole family to Antarctica, that world turns upside down. After nearly plummeting to her death through a monster hole in the Antarctic ice, Jenny realizes everything she's ever learned about the planet may have been a lie. Her parents confirm this when they reveal they are part of a top-secret network, called CCR, working feverishly to prevent the world from destruction. Jenny's Mom and Dad swear her to silence to avoid endangering the network, and their lives. But if you knew you had special skills that could help save the world, wouldn't you use them? Jenny and her friends launch a covert operation to tell America that the planet is in peril. They operate in pure secrecy, hidden even from the clandestine network they are trying to help. It doesn't take long before they are in the struggle over their heads, though. And by the time their parents discover what the kids are up to, it's too late. CCR has started a new phase in its struggle - with a new generation at the helm.

Honeycomb 🍯
Living in a small town for your entire life can be a good thing. Then again, it can be a dreadfully suffocating thing on the same side of the coin. Growing up with the same group of people for 16 or so years of your life during school can be cutthroat or one of the most fulfilling years of your life. Some would even say that it's almost like a hive system of bees, where one false movement in the monotonous dance could cost you your position- and social life.

Indian culture
India culture In almost every Indian home a lamp is lit daily before the altar of lord. In some houses it is lit at dawn, in some, twice a day - at dawn and dusk- and in a few it maintained continuously (akhanda deepa). All auspicious function and movements like daily worship, rituals and festival and even many social occasions like inaugurations commence with the lighting of the lamp, which is often maintained right through the occasion• Why do we light a lamp?Light symbolizes knowledge, and darkness ignorance. The lord is the "Knowledge Principle" (Chaitanya) who is the source, the enlivener and the illuminator of all knowledge. Hence light is worshipped as the lord himself.Knowledge removes ignorance just as light removes darkness. Also knowledge is a lasting inner wealth by which all outer achievements can be accomplished. Hence we light the lamp to bow down to knowledge as the greatest of all forms of wealth. Knowledge backs all our actions whether good or bad. We therefore keep a lamp lit during all auspicious occasions as a witness to our thoughts and actions.Why not light a bulb or tube light? That too would remove darkness. But the traditional oil lamp has a further spiritual significance.Why do we .. symbolizes knowledgeIn almost every Indian home a Light symbolizes knowledge, and darkness ignorance.

Unnatural Events
The "Unnatural Events" universe is much like ours in the fields of technology, government and economy. The main difference between the two are the Unnaturals, as they are called, who possess uncanny abilities. The power of the abilities vary between different people. Most people who develop unnatural abilities start at the age of 8. Almost no Unnatural attains their ability from genes. All Unnaturals are hated by society, often receiving less empathy than weeds in a flower bed. There are camps set around the world to help Unnaturals hide but they are scarce and extremely hard to find. Unnaturals tend to either find or create a group of Unnaturals for protection or remain alone in the world and distant from others. There is no in between. If an Unnatural has the fate of being turned in to authorities for one reason or another there are special technologies made to contain their abilities. Things like medication that turn their brains to mush and bindings to restrict movement. Our story follows August Witter and his experiences in the world as an Unnatural as he bonds with unexpected friends.
When learning meets technology
Today, digital learning is now becoming the norm, especially in the age of pandemic and social distancing. While it lets students be in control of their learning, with lesser distractions and more certification options, & is also cost-effective, it is still an evolving discipline. Here's what the future of online education looks like:Gamification: It is the process of introducing game elements - VR, avatars, simulations, &task-oriented approaches - to convert learning into a fun-filled game. Learners can benefit from increased engagement and better retention, (2011 study - University of Colorado).Mobile learning: Cheap smartphones and affordable data packs have galvanised India's digital movement. With learners' convenience in mind, courses will be built to suit the mobile interface, allowing e-learning to reach households without computers.Microlearning: To reduce cognitive load, e-learning has been focusing on microlearning, or converting information into easy, "bite-sized pieces." These nuggets obviate the need for long-course formats and can be easily consumed by learners on their mobiles.Big data: It lets learning systems understand the needs of individual users and brings a personal touch to the learning experience. Assessing the data also helps improve the courses and tackle the challenges almost immediately.Artificial Intelligence: It has been transforming e-learning by integrating smart content, smart tutoring systems, and content analytics and bridging the gaps. Many fear that introducing AI into learning may make human instructors redundant. But AI will, in fact, aid teachers in understanding the learners' competencies and allow them to craft the best instructional approach. Despite all this, we are only beginning to scratch the surface of how technology can revolutionize digital learning.The writer is CEO, EduBridge India, www.edubridgeindia.com
